2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything by Mauro F. Guillén

4.0

This book was a bit stressful but also really makes you stop and think about the world, how far it has come and how much things will be changing in the future. It is a reminder to not get too complacent or comfortable because the only real constant is change. I think it especially resonates with millennials, as we have grown up being told that if we follow the rules (go to school, get married, etc. etc) we will be able to be successful, but the game has fundamentally changed and that is no longer the game. He examines current trends, such as the declining fertility rates, spending patters, women’s rights, environmental change, and an improved life expectancy in developing countries (to name a few) and how this will change the global mindset moving forward. Obviously, he’s not a fortune teller and no one will know forsake what the future will look like but he backs up his ideas with facts and if nothing else they make for a great starting point for you to think about what you want to prepare for.
